some of my experiences - - load those images over an ssl link. It is possible to load data from a secured link through an unsecured url in flex. - do not expose the actual image url over a file server/ftp server. Rather use some server side scripting(http handler) over a secure link which actually accepts an authentication token per call.See my post here about that-
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/152226 This script would be on a server which then makes a contact with the file server in the intranet. In this way your fileserver is never directly exposed to potential attacks over the web. - the authentication should be renewed with each call through a relay mechanism so that the same request cannot be replayed again. ~Peeyush http://www.mds.asia On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 5:32 PM, Christophe <christophe_jacque...@yahoo.fr>wrote: > > > Hello, > > For a photo editing application which has photos coming from customers. > > Where to store customers photos to keep confidentiality, and how to call > them in the Flex application to display ? > > Thank you, > Christophe, > > >
